By supporting countries to work together to share information, strengthen institutions, and advance sustainable investments, CIWA enables countries to use their transboundary water resources productively and equitably, protect people and property from water-related shocks, and ensure sustainability of the resource base. A cooperative approach to managing shared risks and equitably sharing socio-economic benefits presents countries with opportunities to reduce resource-related conflict and strengthen regional integration, all of which contribute to sustainable economic growth, poverty reduction, and resilience to climate change. CIWA balances support for institutional development and information systems with assistance to helps riparian governments improve the quality of investments in four key basins: the Nile,Zambezi, Niger, and Volta. CIWA responds to demand for knowledge management and technical assistance. Several CIWA-funded analyses concludedin FY15, including the Political Economy Analysis (PEA) and the Economic Rationale for Cooperation in Transboundary Basins in Africa. These analyses inform CIWA activities and create shared understanding that can facilitate cooperative development and management of international waters. In Fiscal Year 2016 (FY16), the CIWA program supported 11 organizations responsible for transboundary water management and development across Africa. The entire portfolio is under implementation, with 32 percent of funds disbursed.CIWA tracks progress toward longterm results by measuring on an interim basis the estimated value of potential investments influenced by CIWA and by identifying potential direct beneficiaries of the relevant investment projects. As project preparation advances and actual financing is mobilized for investments influenced, CIWA results reporting reflects both potential investments and projects where financing has been mobilized.
